Application principles
Direct-connected heating system
Installation positions Up to medium temperature of 100°C the
controllers can be installed in any position (valid
for AVD controller only).
4 VD.DC.I1.02 © Danfoss 02/2006
Indirectly connected heating system
For higher temperatures (valid for AVD
controller) and always in steam applications
(AVDS controller) the controllers have to be
installed in horizontal pipes only, with a pressure
actuator oriented downwards.

Maximum allowed operating pressure as a function of medium temperature (according to EN 1092-2 and EN 1092-3).

Sizing Pressure reduction controller has to control k v value is calculated according to formula:
6.0 bar behind the controller. Max. flow through
the system is less than 2.0 m3/h, min. flow Qmax 2.0
kv � �
pressure is 7.5 bar. ∆p AVD 1.5
Given data: k v = 1.6 m3/h
Qmax = 2.0 m3/h
p1 min = 7.5 bar Solution:
p reduced = 6.0 bar The example selects AVD DN 15, k vs value 4.0,
Nominal pressure PN 25 with pressure setting range 1 - 5 bar

The min. differential pressure across the

controller is calculated from the formula:
∆pAVD = p1 min - p reduced = 7.5 - 6.0
∆pAVD = 1.5 bar

AVD AVDS

Function The pressure behind of the control valve is being

transferred through the impulse tube to the
actuator chamber and act on control diaphragm.
On the other side of the diaphragm atmospheric
pressure is acting. Control valve is normally
opened. It closes on rising pressure and opens
on falling pressure to maintain constant
pressure.

Settings Pressure setting

Pressure setting is being done by the adjustment
of the setting spring for pressure control. The
adjustment can be performed on the basis of
pressure adjustment diagram (see relevant
instructions) and/or pressure indicator.
